Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2008-0164 advisory.[1.6.1-17.el5_1.1]
- add preliminary patch to fix use of uninitialized pointer / double-free in KDC (CVE-2008-0062,CVE-2008-0063) (#432620, #432621)
- add backported patch to fix use-after-free in libgssapi_krb5 (CVE-2007-5901) (#415321)
- add backported patch to fix double-free in libgssapi_krb5 (CVE-2007-5971) (#415351)
- add preliminary patch to fix incorrect handling of high-numbered descriptors in the RPC library (CVE-2008-0947) (#433596)
- fix storage of delegated krb5 credentials when they've been wrapped up in spnego (#436460)
- return a delegated credential handle even if the application didn't pass a location to store the flags which would be used to indicate that credentials were delegated (#436465)
- add patch to fall back to TCP kpasswd servers for kdc-unreachable, can't-resolve-server, and response-too-big errors (#436467)
- use the right sequence numbers when generating password-set/change requests for kpasswd servers after the first one (#436468)
- backport from 1.6.3 to initialize a library-allocated get_init_creds_opt structure the same way we would one which was allocated by the calling application, to restore kinit's traditional behavior of doing a password change right when it detects an expired password (#436470)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
